Catalina Island Marathon

The Catalina Island Marathon, along with its 10K and 5K distances, takes place in Avalon, California on Catalina Island. The event features the full marathon (26.2 miles), a 10K (6.2 miles), and a 5K (3.1 miles), plus a Kids Run, drawing runners to the island’s scenic trails. It is the oldest trail marathon in the state and serves as California’s State Off-Road Marathon Championship.
